Poke Bowl

POKE(MON) BOWL

Even though you would probably assume, that this is a Japanese dish, it actually originates from Hawaii. The name however just gets me thinking about pokemon, and the colors of the dish could easily appear like a Pokemon ball.  This signature dish is an assembled from several ingredients, and the bowl usually consists of the following:

• Raw fish
• toasted seaweed
• edamame beans
• scallions
• pineapple/mango
• avocado

But really, you can put in whatever your heart desires. This meal is not only super simple to assemble, but it is also extremely healthy for you. This bowl is almost like a tuna tartare, except it isn’t drenched in mayo, and the spices used vary a bit.

I created my own poke bowl, and in it I put:

• Raw salmon
• Cucumber
• Shallots
• Avocado
• Lemon juice
• Toasted seaweed
• Sesame oil
• Sesame seeds

It was most definitely tasty, and everyone dove in for seconds….

Give it a try, and let me know what you think
